A former OpenAI engineer&#8217;s death has sparked controversy after his mother claimed he possessed sensitive documents about the artificial intelligence company&#8217;s practices. Suchir Balaji, who had worked with Sam Altman&#8216;s AI company, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42495291/openai-whistleblower-found-dead-after-raising-ai-copyright-concerns">what authorities ruled a suicide</a>.
What Happened: In an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, Balaji&#8217;s mother, Poornima Ramarao, alleged her son was killed because of his knowledge about OpenAI&#8217;s operations. 
&#8220;New York Times named my son as a custodian witness&#8230; He had documents against OpenAI,&#8221; Ramarao stated, adding that Balaji had recently returned from a vacation in Los Angeles before his death.

The case has drawn attention from Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk, a former OpenAI co-founder, who described the situation as &#8220;extremely concerning&#8221; on social media. Musk had previously expressed skepticism about the suicide ruling.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Extremely concerning <a href="https://t.co/ze1mmlIMdD">pic.twitter.com/ze1mmlIMdD</a>
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1879795436623630825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 16, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
According to Ramarao, Balaji had opposed OpenAI&#8217;s shift toward a profit-driven model and had raised concerns about the company&#8217;s copyright practices, particularly regarding its fair use defense for generative AI.

Why It Matters: She emphasized that her son&#8217;s knowledge extended beyond copyright issues, stating he had unique insights into the company&#8217;s pre-training data processes.
&#8220;This is not just about copyright—it involves much more, including matters that could potentially harm society. This isn't just about my son's death. There are harmful practices that need to be evaluated and thoroughly investigated,&#8221; Ramarao said. 
The family is seeking to become estate administrators to access sealed documents held by The New York Times. Ramarao has called for a federal investigation, questioning why medical examiners have allegedly refused to meet with the family.
The controversy emerges amid growing scrutiny of AI development and its oversight. Balaji&#8217;s role as a custodian witness and his alleged possession of internal documents add significance to the case, particularly as debates continue about AI companies&#8217; practices and transparency.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment. The San Francisco Police Department maintains its initial suicide ruling.

Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) disclosed that it expects global total shipments to decline 9% year-over-year to around 1.395 million units <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g43020587/stellantis-reports-q4-2024-consolidated-shipment-estimates" rel="noreferrer noopener">for the fourth quarter of 2024</a>.
The decrease aligned with a ~5% drop in underlying&nbsp;sales performance. The company&#8217;s 9%&nbsp;decline in shipments improved versus a 20%&nbsp;decline in the third quarter, as U.S. inventory reduction actions concluded and new product launches in Europe reduced gaps in its offering related to generational portfolio transition.
In North America, shipments fell by 28%, while sales dropped 5% Y/Y. The sharper shipment decline was due to inventory reduction efforts, cutting U.S. dealer stock by ~80,000 units to just over 300,000 by quarter-end.
In Enlarged Europe, shipments fell 6% Y/Y, an improvement from the third-quarter decline of 17% Y/Y, thanks to the Citroën C3/ë-C3 launch helping close a temporary B-segment gap.
The company stated that early demand for Stellantis&#8217; next-generation models is strong, with over 90,000 orders for the Citroën C3/ë-C3 and more than 140,000 for STLA Medium platform models, including the Peugeot 3008, Peugeot 5008, and Opel Grandland.
Apart from this, Stellantis&#8217; &#8220;Third Engine&#8221; shipments rose 5% Y/Y, led by 12% growth in South America and stability in the Middle East &amp; Africa, offsetting declines in China and India &amp; Asia Pacific.
South America benefited from stronger demand and a post-flood production rebound, while Middle East &amp; Africa saw gains in key markets, tempered by import restrictions in Algeria.
The company plans to report FY24 results <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">on February 26, 2025</a>.
Last week, the company inked a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding to accelerate the cloud-based <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42844621/stellantis-partners-with-dspace-to-accelerate-cloud-based-development-of-vehicles" rel="noreferrer noopener">development of Stellantis vehicles</a>.
Price Action: STLA shares are up 0.16% at $12.77 premarket at the last check Thursday.

Top 3 Consumer Stocks You'll Regret Missing This Month

CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer took to the social media platform X to endorse Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) strong fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43019420/quantum-computing-taiwan-semiconductor-meta-intuitive-surgical-and-tesla-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">earnings</a> while taking a jibe at outgoing president Joe Biden&#8216;s sanctions on the chipmaker.
What Happened: Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chip supplier TSMC beat its fourth-quarter revenue and earnings per share estimates on Thursday, &#8220;telling an excellent story,&#8221; according to Cramer&#8217;s X post.
However, Cramer added flavor to his observation by stating &#8220;what semi-sanction will Biden pull out of the hat next!&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

TSMC delivered earnings of $2.24 per share on revenue of $26.88 billion. The EPS was 3.70% higher, whereas the revenue was 1.91% higher as compared to estimates.
The earnings also beat revenue guidance of $25.8 billion, whereas the gross margin for the quarter was in line with 59% growth guided by the company.

Why It Matters: On Wednesday, the Biden administration placed over two dozen Chinese entities on a U.S. trade restriction list, including Zhipu AI, a developer of large language models, and Sophgo, a company whose TSMC-manufactured chip was unlawfully integrated into a Huawei AI processor, reported Reuters.
Additionally, the Commerce Department enhanced controls on chip exports to China to more effectively prevent diversion to Huawei.
Price Action: TSMC&#8217;s stock was up 3.14% in premarket to $213.44 on Thursday. Over the past year, it has experienced a notable growth of 103.40%.
TSMC has a consensus price target of $200.8, according to the 6 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TSM/analyst-ratings">tracked by Benzinga</a>. The high target is $250, and the low is $89. Recent ratings by Barclays, Barclays, and Needham suggest a $226.67 target, implying a 4.67% upside.

The contract chipmaker, which supplies chips for&nbsp;Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) graphics processing unit&nbsp;(GPU)&nbsp;and Apple, Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) smartphones, guided first-quarter revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://investor.tsmc.com/english/quarterly-results/2024/q4" rel="noreferrer noopener">above the consensus</a>.
Taiwan Semiconductor reported fourth-quarter revenue of $26.88 billion (NT$868.46 billion), up 38.8% year-over-year, topping the analyst consensus estimate of $26.28 billion.

Net income and earnings per share were NT$374.68 billion and NT$14.45 per share ($2.24) versus <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus of $2.23</a>.
In dollar terms, revenue growth was 37.0% year over year and 14.4% quarter over quarter. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips" rel="noreferrer noopener">The top-line performance</a> aligned with the company&#8217;s guidance of $26.1 billion—$26.9 billion.
Taiwan Semiconductor said its business was supported by demand for its 3-nm and 5-nm technologies. However, it expects smartphone seasonality to impact the first quarter, partially offset by continued growth in AI-related demand.
The company said 3-nm accounted for 26% of the total revenue, 5-nm accounted for 34%, and 7-nm technologies accounted for 14%. 7-nm and more advanced technologies comprised 74% of the total wafer revenue.
Margin Profile:&nbsp;Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s AI technology moat helped it expand its fourth-quarter gross margins by 600 bps to 59%, as its 3-nm and 5-nm chips gain traction at the cost of&nbsp;Intel Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and&nbsp;Samsung Electronics&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>),&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42825523/taiwan-semi-likely-for-upside-backed-by-ai-demand-and-advanced-node-pricing-analyst-says" rel="noreferrer noopener">which struggled to transition</a>&nbsp;into advanced nodes. Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s operating margin expanded by 740 bps to 49%.
Outlook: Taiwan Semiconductor is guided for first-quarter 2025 revenue of $25.0 billion-$25.8 billion versus the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">$24.97 billion consensus estimate</a>. It expects a gross margin of 57%—59% and operating profit margins of 46.5%—48.5%.
The company earmarked fiscal 2025 capex worth $38 billion-$42 billion (versus $29.8 billion a year ago) amid intensifying geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China, with the former eying tougher <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43003008/taiwan-semi-samsung-intel-may-face-stricter-us-rules-on-chip-exports-to-china-over-security-concerns" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence technology</a> restrictions on the latter, citing national security concerns.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock surged over 103% in the last 12 months.
Investors can gain exposure to semiconductor manufacturing stocks through the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>).
Price Action: TSM stock traded higher by 4.86% at $216.85 premarket at the last check on Thursday.

Stagwell Announces Intent To Acquire ADK GLOBAL, Strengthening APAC Presence And Expanding Global Marketing Reach With Local Market Expertise

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) on Wednesday launched 365 Copilot Chat, its AI-powered chat service with AI agents and a new pay-as-you-go plan.
What Happened: The company has rebranded its AI chat service, formerly known as Bing Chat Enterprise, under a new plan named Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
The service is tailored for businesses and offers features centered on workflow automation.
The Copilot Chat is built on OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4 AI model and can be used for tasks such as conducting market research, preparing for meetings, creating key takeaways in Word documents, and even generating AI-powered images for social media posts and campaigns using Copilot Pages.

Earlier, AI agents were only accessible with the full Microsoft Copilot subscription, which costs $30 per user per month. However, with the new Copilot Chat plan, businesses can access Copilot AI agents directly within the chat experience and pay based on usage.
While the exact cost for Copilot Chat will vary depending on usage, it&#8217;s a significant move towards flexible pricing, particularly beneficial for businesses with fluctuating needs or smaller teams that may not require constant access to AI agents.
Copilot Chat is available in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app for Windows, Android, or iPhone app stores or via Microsoft 365 Copilot&#8217;s official website.

Why It Matters: The introduction of AI agents in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is part of a broader trend in the tech industry towards integrating AI into everyday business operations.
Startups like OpenAI or established players like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google have already rolled out or are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42446686/google-introduces-ai-agent-prototype-that-can-browse-the-web">preparing to introduce</a> comparable AI agent tools.
Meta Platforms Inc. (META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also addressed the transition from chatbots to AI agents capable of handling more complex tasks and goals.
Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang has likewise forecasted that AI-powered employees will soon become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41869577/nvidias-huang-sees-ai-employees-on-the-horizon">vital component of the corporate</a> workforce.
Moreover, Microsoft also faces mounting pressure to deliver returns on its significant AI investments, with the software giant planning to allocate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42801720/microsoft-to-invest-80-billion-in-ai-data-centers-for-fiscal-2025">about $80 billion this fiscal</a> year toward data centers and AI infrastructure.
In November last year, Microsoft started enabling customers to develop autonomous agents that need little human involvement. Some analysts suggest that this approach could provide tech companies with an easier route to monetization, noted Reuters.
Price Action: Microsoft&#8217;s stock increased by 2.56% on Wednesday, finishing at $426.31. In pre-market trading on Friday, it gained another 0.74%, reaching $429.48, as per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
